Where exactly in the hatch.. the actual HATCH itself rattles somewhere?

I've noticed by passenger taillight rattles a tiny bit with a lot of bass, and back center panel (that says CAMARO).. are you sure it's the hatch itself?

if its the hatch itself rattling theres a few things you can do. you will know if its loose by pushing down on it. if theres a decent amount of play, its prollly causing a rattle.

you can adjust the bumper stop things on the left and right sides so they are up further and will put more presure on the hatch to keep it from having so much play.

you can also adjust the hatch latch, pull the carpet back and loosen the bolts holding it in place, then slide it down so that it will pull the hatch further down. you may find your self having to slam the hatch much harder to close although it will fix the rattling problem.

It might also be the the speaker grills in the hatch area, pop them off and see if it still does it.

It might be the jack in the spare tire well. Mine jingles around all the time. Considering ducttaping it.
